Today's blogger: Mohamed Jagga

 We have been here for 11 days, and it looks like we are a big family. I feel very sad when I think about the last day. But in every good beginning there is a very good end. I'm writing this to let all of you know how proud I am to be here. Thanks to Alcoa and Earthwatch for giving us this good opportunity and all the people and friends that helped me with this. Today we started working at 8:00 am. We traveled to the Sous lake. Then, Josef separated us into two groups. One of them, in a boat, measured parameters of water at different depths. I was rowing. The other team was taking water samples from the streams around the Sous lake. I enjoyed today's work very much and learned a lot. Maybe I can share this with my people in Surinam.
